Twilight Local Food, History and Hidden Places
Description
Eat like a Local and experience the Eternal City as a real Roman on this unique food & history adventure with more than 15 Gourmet Food & Wine tastings. A Roman archaeologist will guide you through hidden gems of the city during a “walking aperitif”. In the narrow streets of Campo de Fiori, we will start with a typical Roman aperitif. After the toast, we will immerse ourselves in the world of the Roman street food, tasting pizza "al taglio" in an ancient bakery opened in 1880 and then a real supplì in one of the last family run “friggitoria”, where the family works since 1860. Here we will pair the supplì with a beer and a surprise! We will then move in a unique venue: a traditional shops where a family offers cheese and cold cuts produced in their farm just out of Rome. And obviously there is no aperitif without some good wine! We will finish our “walking Roman aperitif” with a “sweet touch” (no spoiler!), in the area of Piazza Navona, one of the most beautiful squares of Rome

We are traveling with another couple and we booked this walking eating tour with Greta. She took us to 4 different small local places for amazing food and drinks. She is an archeologist and history student so she provided us with very interesting information about Rome and Italy as well as the food and drinks. She pointed out meaningful landmarks and architecture. We really enjoyed this experience- would highly recommend!!
We had Gulia (or Gulianna, sorry if I got her name wrong!) who was incredibly friendly and wonderful! Loved that she took us to places we would not have known about as foreigners! Gave a great history and fun facts about the food and the families who ran the places. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome!
This was a well crafted food tour with interesting history along the way as well...Our guide was a well decorated archeologist! We left this tour feeling like we wanted to do a food tour in every city we went to, we can only hope our future guides are as good. Each stop was happy to interact with us as tourists and they were even more thrilled to share their passion for these slightly more niche italian specialties. The Cheese/Meat guy was Fantastic! Make sure you get the pistachio nutella!
Greta was lovely tour guide, so knowledgeable and interesting! Highly recommend taking this tour early in your Roman experience so that you can get a foodie “lay of the land”.
Start your visit to Rome with THIS twilight historical and food tour. A three hour history and gastronomic experience second to none. We learnt such interesting and quirky facts, and tasted food from generational family food stores so ingrained in Roman society they don’t even have the eatery name outside! My advice, book this tour if you are visiting Rome.
This gave a really good understanding of the ingredients in italian cooking and the whole experience of eating the italian way. It was both entertaining and educational at the same time as introducing us to areas of Rome that were new to us. (Probably of less interest to best people beloe age 16.)
Great tour guide with delicious variety of food! Our guide also incorporated interesting bits of history along the way. Highly recommend!
On my first night in Rome, I did the Roma Eat Twilight tour, and it got my vacation off to a fabulous start. Our guide was delightful and brimming with enthusiasm for her city. All the food we sampled was amazing, especially the carbonara pasta and the cannoli. After the tour, she sent us a list of dozens of restaurants to try, which I really appreciated!
My first trip to Rome. I am so glad I did this tour. Our guide was so friendly and informative. The stories and information was so addicting to listen to. We had great tasting of so much that Rome and Italy has to offer. What a variety. We visited unique and famous places. We heard background historical stories. So many beautiful sites. The group had good conversations. I went home satisfied with food and drink and talk. A memorable experience!
Thanks to the nice, friendly and superprofessional Chiara we could live a unique experience (pity a little rain ..) of various tastings in the alleys of Rome. Highly recommended!
